General
Information
Important Note: Environmental scientists have found evidence that
refrigerant emissions contribute to depletion of ozone in the upper
atmosphere and can increase global warming. Trane encourages every
effort to eliminate, if possible, or vigorously reduce the emission of CFC,
HCFC and HFC refrigerant to the atmosphere that can result from
installation, operation, routine maintenance, or major service on this
equipment. Only technicians with EPA certification should be allowed to
handle CFC, HCFC or HFC refrigerants. Compliance or certification to other
local or state codes may also be required when handling refrigerants. Always
act in a responsible manner to conserve refrigerants.
Model Number Description
All Trane products are identified by a multiple-character model number that
precisely identifies a particular type of unit. An explanation of the
alphanumeric identification code is provided in Figure 1a. Its use will enable
the owner/operator, installing contractors, and service engineers to define
the operation, specific components, and other options for any specific unit.
When ordering replacement parts or requesting service, be sure to refer to
the specific model number, serial number, and DL number (if applicable)

General
Information
The shell-and-tube type evaporator used in each air-cooled Cold Generator
is manufactured in accordance with ASME standards. Each evaporator is
fully insulated and equipped with a drain connection. The chilled solution
temperature sensors are located on the solution outlet and the return
solution end of the evaporator.
A liquid line solenoid valve, filter drier, sight glass, thermostatic expansion
valve, and service valves (liquid and discharge) are provided on each circuit.
Standard controls for these units is a microelectronics control system that
consists of a network of modules referred to as Unit Control Modules (UCM).
The acronym UCM is used extensively throughout this document when
referring to the control system network.
These modules through Proportional/Integral control algorithms perform
specific unit functions that governs unit operation in response to chilled
water temperature leaving the evaporator. The stages of capacity control for
these units is achieved by starting and stopping the compressors.
They are mounted in the control panel and are factory wired to their
respective internal components. They receive and interpret information from
other unit modules, sensors, remote panels, and customer binary contacts to
satisfy the applicable request for cooling. Refer to the following discussion
for an explanation of each module function.
Human Interface Module (HI - Standard)
The Human Interface module enables the operator to adjust the operating
parameters for the unit using it's 16 key keypad. The 2 line, 40 character
LCD screen provides status information for the various unit functions as well
as menus for the operator to set or modify the operating parameters.
Cold Generator Module (CGM - Standard)
The Cold Generator Module (CGM) responds to cooling requests by
energizing the proper unit components based on information received from
other unit modules, sensors, remote panels, and customer supplied binary
inputs. It initiates unit operation based on that information.
Compressor Module (SCM & MCM - Size Specific)
The Compressor module, (Single Circuit & Multiple Circuit), upon receiving a
request for mechanical cooling, energizes the appropriate compressors and
condenser fans. It monitors the compressor operation through feedback
information it receives from various protection devices.
Trane Communications Interface Module (TCI)
(Used with Trane ICS™ Systems)
The Trane Communication Interface module allows external setpoints for
most of the unit functions to be communicated to the unit's UCM network via
a Trane ICS™ system or a Tracer Summit™ system. DIP Switch settings on
the TCI module for these applications should be; Switches 1, 2, and 3 are
“Off”.
8CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 9
General
Information
Generic Building Automation System Module (GBAS)
(Used with Non-Trane Building Control System)
The Generic Building Automation System (GBAS) module allows a nonTrane building control system to communicate with the unit and accepts
external setpoints in form of analog inputs 0 - 5 DCV and a binary Input for
demand limit. Five (5) binary outputs are available on 0 - 5 DCV modules.
Refer to the “Field Installed Control Wiring” section for the control wiring to
the GBAS module and the various desired setpoints with the corresponding
DC voltage inputs.
Current Sensing Module (CSM)
Current transformers located around two (2) of the main power leads for
each compressor monitors the running current during compressor operation.
The information is sent to the CGM and can be accessed through the
“Compressor Status” submenu displayed at the Human Interface Module.
Input Devices & System Functions
The descriptions of the following basic Input Devices used within the UCM
network are to acquaint the operator with their function as they interface with
the various modules. Refer to the unit's electrical schematic for the specific
module connections.
Lead/Lag (Standard)
When Lead-Lag is enabled, for each capacity add request, the CGM will
begin sequencing the compressors “On” that have:
A. the least number of starts; or,
B. the least run time (if number of starts are equal)
At each capacity subtract request, the CGM will begin sequencing the
compressors “Off” that have:
A. the most run time; or,
B. the least number of starts (if more than one compressor has the same run
time)
If a compressor is locked out for any reason when a capacity add request
occurs, the next available compressor which meets the specified criteria will
be started.
If a compressor can not be turned “Off” due to the minimum “On Time”, the
next compressor which meets the specified criteria will be turned “Off”.
On dual circuit units, as the first two capacity add requests are initiated, one
compressor on each circuit will start before any additional compressors on
any circuit is started. When staging down from three compressor stages to
two compressor stages, the CGM will turn the compressors “Off” on the
circuit that has the most compressors operating.
CSRA-SVX02A-EN9
Page 10
General
Information
With Lead/Lag enabled, HGBP operation (if applicable) will be bypassed and
the system will go directly into pump down when the last subtract command
is initiated.
When the UCM is powered up (after a power loss), or any time the
compressor's start time and run time are equal, the lead compressor for
single circuit units (20 through 30 Tons), will be the first “On” and the lag
compressor will be the first “Off”. For dual circuit units (40 through 60 Tons),
the “On” sequence will be A-C-B-D and the “Off” sequence will be D-B-C-A.
Loss of Flow (Refrigerant) Control
Is accomplished using a binary input device (LPC) located on the suction
lines near the scroll compressors.
The LP cutouts are designed to open if the suction pressure approaches 7 ±
4 psig. If the LP cutout opens after a compressor has started, all
compressors operating on that circuit will be turned off immediately and will
remain off for a minimum of three minutes.
The LPC contacts are designed to close when the suction pressure exceeds
22 ± 4 psig. If the LP control is open when a compressor is requested to
start, none of the compressors on that circuit will be allowed to operate.
They are locked out and a manual reset diagnostic is initiated.
If the LP cutout trips four consecutive times during the first three minutes of
operation, the compressors on that circuit will be locked out and a manual
reset diagnostic is initiated.
Saturated Condenser Temperature Sensors (Standard)
Are analog input devices mounted inside a temperature well located on a
condenser tube bend. They monitor the saturated refrigerant temperature
inside the condenser coil and are connected to the compressor module
(SCM/MCM). As the saturated refrigerant temperature varies due to
operating conditions, the condenser fans are cycled “On” or “Off” as required
to maintain acceptable operating pressures.
Head Pressure Control (Standard)
Is accomplished using two saturated refrigerant temperature sensors.
During a request for compressor operation, when the condensing
temperature rises above the “lower limit” of the controlband, the Compressor
Module (SCM/MCM) begins sequencing condenser fans “On”. If the
operating fans can not bring the condensing temperature to within the
controlband, more fans are turned “On”. As the saturated condensing
temperature approaches the lower limit of the controlband, fans are
sequenced “Off”. The minimum “On/Off” time for condenser fan staging is
5.2 seconds. If the system is operating at a given fan stage below 100% for
30 minutes and the saturated condensing temperature is above the
“efficiency check point” setting, a fan stage will be added. If the saturated
condensing temperature falls below the “efficiency check point” setting, the
fan control will remain at the present operating stage. If a fan stage cycles
10CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 11
General
Information
four times within a 10 minute period, the control switches from controlling to
the “lower limit” to a temperature equal to the “lower limit” minus the
“temporary low limit suppression” setting. It will utilize this new “low limit”
temperature for one hour to reduce condenser fan short cycling.
High Pressure Controls (Standard)
High Pressure controls are located on the discharge lines near the scroll
compressors. They are designed to open when the discharge pressure
approaches 405 ± 7 psig. The controls reset automatically when the
discharge pressure decreases to approximately 300 ± 20 psig. However, the
compressors on that circuit are locked out and a manual reset diagnostic is
initiated.
Low Ambient Control
The low ambient modulating output on the compressor module is functional
on all units with or without the low ambient option.
When the compressor module has staged up to it's highest stage (stage 2 or
3 depending on unit size), the modulating output will be at 100% (10 VDC).
When the control is at stage 1, the output (0 to 10 VDC) will modulate based
on the saturated condensing temperature.
When the low ambient damper option is installed, the dampers will modulate
according to the output to control the saturated condensing temperature to
within the programmable “condensing temperature low ambient control
point”.
Status/Alarm Output (Standard)
Is an internal function within the CGM control module that provides;
A. diagnostic signals to the Human Interface Alarm LED.
B. control of the binary Alarm output.
C. control of the binary outputs on the GBAS module to inform the customer
of the operational status and/or diagnostic conditions.
Compressor Circuit Breakers (Standard)
The Scroll Compressors are protected by circuit breakers which interrupt the
power supply to the compressors if the current exceeds the breakers “must
trip” value and opens a set of auxiliary contacts in the control circuit.
When the Compressor Module (SCM or MCM) detects the open auxiliary
compressor contacts, it turns any operating compressor(s) on that circuit
“Off”, locks out all compressor operation for that circuit, and initiates a
manual reset diagnostic.
CSRA-SVX02A-EN11
Page 12
General
Information
Compressor Motor Winding Thermostats (Standard)
A thermostat is embedded in the motor windings of each Scroll compressor.
Each thermostat is designed to open if the motor windings exceeds
approximately 221°F. The thermostat will reset automatically when the
winding temperature decreases to approximately 181°F. Rapid cycling, loss
of charge, abnormally high suction temperatures, or the compressor running
backwards could cause the thermostat to open. During a request for
compressor operation, if the Compressor Module detects a problem outside
of it's normal parameters, it turns any operating compressor(s) on that circuit
“Off”, locks out all compressor operation for that circuit, and initiates a
manual reset diagnostic.
Low Ambient Compressor Lockout (Standard)
When low ambient compressor lockout is enabled, the compressors are not
allowed to operate if the temperature of the outside air falls below the
lockout setpoint. Compressor operation is enabled when the temperature
rises 5°F above the lockout setpoint. The setpoints and enable/disable
option is programmable at the Human Interface inside the unit control panel.
The default setting is 30°F.
Note: The unit is wired so the CGM monitors incoming power for proper
phase sequencing. Observe proper polarity of internal wiring during service
procedures.
Short Cycle Protection (Standard)
If compressor operation is interrupted by a loss of power or by a manual
reset diagnostic, a minimum of one minute must elapse before the affected
compressor(s) will be allowed to restart for “Process” applications. A
minimum of three minutes must elapse before the affected compressor(s)
will be allowed to restart for “Comfort Cooling” applications.
Hot Start (Load Limit) Control (Standard)
Each time the system is started and the control of the CGM transitions from
“Loop Stabilization” to either “Process” or “Comfort Cooling”, if the Leaving
Solution Temperature (LST) is higher than the programmable Hot Start Load
Limit Setpoint (HSLLS), the lag compressor on each circuit will be prevented
from operating until the leaving solution temperature is lowered by 5°F below
the HSLLS.
If the Hot Start Limit time interval elapses before the LST is 5°F below the
HSLLS, the control will transition immediately into the Hot Operation mode.
Hot Operation mode is programmable to:
1. Do not limit capacity, initiate an informational diagnostic until the LST falls
5°F below the HSLLS.
2. Limit the capacity to 50 percent (one compressor per circuit), initiate an
auto reset diagnostic until the LST falls 5°F below the HSLLS.
12CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 13
General
Information
3. Turn “Off” and lockout all of the compressors and initiate a manual reset
diagnostic.
Loss-of-Flow (Solution) Protection (Standard)
The factory installed solution flow switch is wired to the CGM. If it opens for
more than 6 continuous seconds when the pump is requested to be “On”, an
auto reset diagnostic will be initiated. If no compressors are operating, they
will be inhibited from starting. Any time the compressors are operating, they
will be turned “Off”. Once flow has been reestablished, full unit operation will
be allowed.
In addition, a low pressure cutout and the entering (EST) and leaving
solution temperature (LST) sensors provide loss of flow protection for the
unit.
When there is a cooling demand, the CGM compares the EST to the LST. If
the EST is 2°F or more below the LST, the chiller is stopped and a manually
reset diagnostic is initiated. This input has priority over all other commands
received by the CGM.
Low Ambient Start (Standard)
Is accomplished by utilizing an additional low pressure cutout (LPC) that is
ignored at start-up for varying periods of time, depending on the prevailing
ambient temperature. The relationship between this variable time period and
the ambient temperature is linear from a maximum of 5 minutes at 0°F to a
minimum of 30 seconds at 65°F. The bypass time is initiated each time a
compressor is started on a refrigerant circuit when no other compressor on
that circuit is operating. No additional compressors will be allowed to operate
within that circuit until the bypass time has expired.
Chiller Solution Pump Output Relay (Standard)
A Solution Pump binary output (Form C) relay is located on the CGM which
may be used to control the chiller solution pump.
If the Chiller Solution Pump Mode, at the Human Interface Module, is set to
“On”, the Solution Pump will run continuously.
If the Chiller Solution Pump Mode, at the Human Interface Module, is set to
Auto, the Solution Pump will be turned “Off”:
1. when the unit is stopped (Unit Stop or External Auto/Stop)
2. during the unit's Power On Delay Time
3. when the primary control states are:
Ice Rebuild Delay
Ice Building Complete
A Solution Pump “Off Delay” Time may be programmed to allow the Solution
Pump to remain “On” after a shut down request has been received. The
delay is adjustable between 0.5 minutes and 10 minutes after an “Off” state
is initiated. The Solution Pump will always run for this delay time when
CSRA-SVX02A-EN13
Page 14
General
Information
turning off except during an Emergency Stop condition. If an Emergency
Stop is initiated, the Solution Pump is immediately turned “Off” (relay deenergized).
Low Ambient Pump Control (Standard)
A Low Ambient Pump “On” Control function (LAPC) allows the pump to run
continuously if the outside ambient temperature falls below a programmable
Low Ambient Pump “On” Temperature (LAPT) Setpoint or if an outside
ambient temperature input failure occurs. An Auto Reset Diagnostic will be
issued and remain as long as the condition exists.
This function will be disabled when an Emergency Stop request is initiated.
During service test operation, if a low ambient condition exists when the
operator attempts to turn the pump “Off”, a message will be displayed on the
Human Interface Module advising that the pump cannot be turned off due to
the low ambient condition.
Emergency Stop (Optional)
Is accomplished when a customer provided, field installed binary input
device is connected to the CGM. The unit will immediately shut down when
the contacts are opened. Emergency Stop is a top priority command that will
override all other commands received by the UCM. A manual reset
diagnostic will occur and an indication showing that the unit is shut down due
to Emergency Stop will be displayed at the Human Interface Module.
External Auto/Stop (Optional)
The unit can be Stopped and Started by a remote customer provided field
installed binary input device (such as a time clock) connected to the CGM.
When the input is opened (Stop), the unit will stage the compressors and the
solution pump “Off” in a normal manner and display “Off due to external
stop” at the unit Human Interface. When the input is closed (Start), the unit
will start and run normally.
The External Auto/Stop input operates in the same manner as the STOP/
AUTO keys on the unit mounted Human Interface or the Remote Human
Interface (RHI). However, the Stop key at the unit mounted Human Interface
has priority over both the remote External Auto/Stop and the Remote Human
Interface Auto/Stop.
Note: If the STOP key is pressed at the unit mounted Human Interface, no
remote AUTO (Start) key will start the unit until the AUTO key is pressed at
the unit mounted Human Interface.
A start (AUTO) command is allowed only if no overriding diagnostics or
higher priority function is present.

Evaporator Water Piping
The unit's water connection sizes and locations are shown in Figure 4.
CAUTION
Component Damage!
Evaporator pressure should not exceed 1 50 psig (i.e., maximum working
pressure). Failure to do so may lead to equipment damage.
CAUTION
Pump Damage!
Do not reverse system w ater piping connections to the unit or pump.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in pump or unit damage.
Water entering the evaporator is pre-piped to the discharge of the pump. If
the pump is not required, open bypass valve and close inlet and discharge
valves on pump. “Water Inlet” to the evaporator must enter on inlet
connection to pump. Leaving water must exit the evaporator through the
designated “Water Outlet” connection.

Flexible Hose and Hard Pipe Installation
General
Use the procedure described below to ensure the proper installation of
flexible hose provided as part of a ChillerSource rental. It is critical that this
procedure is followed to minimize premature or catastrophic failure of this
hose.
CAUTION
Hose Damage!
Hose must never be pressurized over 1 5 0 psi. If higher pressures are
required, “hard” suction pipe must be utilized. Failure to do so may lead
to hose damage.
CAUTION
Hose Damage!
Hose must alw ays be used in pressurized application. If a negative
pressure application is required, “hard” suction pipe must be utilized.
Failure to do so may lead to hose collapse and total system failure.
Flexible Hose Guidelines
WARNING
Hose Failure
Failure to comply w ith installation instructions that follow may result in
death or serious injury or equipment damage.
• Do not support the hose ONLY by its couplings; support over half of
the hose's length by ground or other supporting surface otherwise
coupling clamps may fail.
• Do not run hose vertically more than 7 feet otherwise coupling clamps
may fail.
• Do not cut hose to “custom” fit pieces-this will affect the integrity of
the hose.
• Bleed all air from the system prior to pressurizing hose to avoid couplings separating from the hose.
• Install elbows for a smooth hose transition on all vertical hose installations, see Figure 10 (Correct Vertical Hose Installation)
• Never pressurize hose above 150 psi.
CSRA-SVX02A-EN27
Page 28
Installation
Dixon Coupling
• The Dixon coupling (See Figure 7), bolts are to be torqued prior to
charging the hose with water to 40 ft-lbs. DO NOT EXCEED 40 ft-lbs.
(The torque must be applied evenly between the bolts to ensure a
consistent gap on each side of the coupling. Some pinching of the
excess hose in the gap area is considered normal and will not create
a leak or premature failure.)
• Continually monitor and retighten, if necessary, on monthly inspection intervals.
Figure 7 — Dixon Coupling
The following figures illustrate the correct and incorrect methods for
installing hose in a horizontal hookup application.
Figure 8 — Correct Horizontal Hose Installation
Correct horizontal hose installation shows a correct hose installation. In this
configuration either a 45° or 90° elbow can be installed. This elbow prevents
stretching and crimping of the hose at the hose coupling connection. This
elbow also directs the hose to the ground at an appropriate angle to
minimize the crimping of the hose at the ground or supporting surfaces.
Incorrect horizontal hose installation shows an incorrect hose installation.
Elbows are not installed. This causes the top of the hose to be in tension,
which stretches the hose out of the coupling; and the bottom of the hose to
be in compression, which causes it to crimp. It also causes the hose to crimp
at the ground.
The following figures illustrate the correct and incorrect methods for installing
hose in a vertical hookup application.
Figure 10— Correct Vertical Hose Installation
Correct vertical hose installation shows a correct vertical hose installation. In
this configuration, the hose is installed with an elevation less than 7 feet off
the ground. A 45° elbow is installed to reduce the stress in the hose coupling
connection. This elbow also directs the hose to the ground at an appropriate
angle to minimize the crimping of the hose at the ground or supporting
surface.
CSRA-SVX02A-EN29
Page 30
Installation
Figure 11 — Incorrect Vertical Hose Installation
Incorrect vertical hose installation shows an incorrect hose installation. In
this configuration the hose is installed without an elbow and with an
elevation greater than 7 feet off the ground. This creates excessive stress at
the hose coupling connection, causing the hose to stretch and separate from
the coupling. It also causes the hose to crimp at the ground.
The following figures illustrate the correct and incorrect methods for
installing hose in a horizontal and vertical combination application.
Correct horizontal/vertical installation shows a correct horizontal/vertical
hose installation. In this configuration, correct installation techniques
followed are:
• the hose is installed with elbows at both connection ends
• the vertical run of hose is less than 7 feet
• the hose is adequately supported by more than half its total length on
the ground
These items minimize the stretching and separation at the hose-coupling
interface and also the crimping of the hose at the ground.
Incorrect horizontal/vertical installation shows an incorrect horizontal/vertical
hose installation. In this configuration, a number of improper installation
techniques can be noted:
• elbows are not installed
• the hose is completely supported by the couplings
• the vertical run of hose is greater than 7 feet
• the hose is not adequately supported by the ground
Correct unsupported horizontal installation illustrates a correct horizontal
hose installation where there is a section of unsupported hose. The length of
unsupported hose should be less than 7 feet. Also, the hose must be
adequately supported by having more than half its total length on the ground.

Installation
Hard Pipe Guidelines
Certain installations may require the use of hard pipe (steel or PVC). Hard
pipe is typically recommended for (1) INDOOR INSTALLATIONS, (2) semipermanent installations (three months or more) and/or (3) installations with
space limitations.
When installing hard pipe:
• construct and install the piping according to local and national codes
• isolate and support the piping as required to prevent stress on the
unit and vibration to building piping
If there are any questions regarding how to install water piping, contact a
ChillerSource Technical Service Advisor, Charlotte, NC (800-755-5115).
Material Disposition
In the event the hose fails or leaks, call the ChillerSource Technical Service
Advisor in Charlotte, NC (800-755-5115); tag the hose “BAD” and place it
back in the shipping box.
Exceptions
The ChillerSource Technical Service Advisor, Charlotte, NC, must authorize
any exceptions to the guidelines established in this bulletin in writing.
Freeze Protection from Ambient Conditions
Use the procedure described below to ensure that the chilled water system
is adequately protected from freeze-up in applications where the unit
remains operational at subfreezing ambient temperatures and against ice
formation at the lowest expected operating temperatures by adding a nonfreezing, low-temperature, heat-transfer fluid to the chilled water.
For evaporator water capacities, refer to the “System Start-Up” section. For
the use and testing of the antifreeze solution, follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Note: Use of an ethylene glycol-type antifreeze reduces unit cooling
capacity; this condition must be accounted for during total system design.
Also, the low pressure control may need to be changed. Contact the local
Trane ChillerSource representative.
For all 60 Hz units, heat tape is factory-installed on the unit evaporator and
all internal water piping.
This heat tape will protect the evaporator and internal piping from freezing
due to low ambient temperatures down to -20°F. Heat tape power draw for
60 Hz units is 210 Watts on 25-30 Ton units, and 420 Watts on 40 through
60 Ton units.
32CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 33
Installation
Install an appropriately sized fused disconnect switch for field installed heat
tape when applying it to all exposed piping. A shore power 115V plug is
provided for factory installed heat tape. Be sure to use heat tape that is
recommended for low-temperature applications, it should be thermostatic
controlled and dissipate 7 watts per linear foot. A field installed thermostat
must be installed if the heat tape does not include a thermostat.
To install the heat tape properly, follow the instructions provided by the heat
tape manufacturer. If no instructions are provided, use the recommendations
outlined below:
1. Wrap the heat tape around the pipe or apply it straight along the pipe, as
necessary, to provide the required protection. Refer to Figure 15 and
Tables 2A and 2B.
2. Use friction tape to secure the heat tape to the solution pipe.
3. Place the thermostat parallel to the water pipe and tape it tightly in place
at both ends. Be sure to install the thermostat on the most exposed (i.e.,
coldest) portion of the pipe.
4. Wrap the pipe with an insulation material and cover it with a weatherproof
tape (if additional protection is required). On vertical pipe runs, start the
wrap at the bottom and work up as shown in Figure 15. Be sure to overlap the tape so that it will shed moisture.
Note: To prevent heat tape failure, frozen pipes, and other unit damage, do
not install insulation under the weatherproof wrap if a non-thermostatic
controlled heat tape is used.

ICS™ Communication Link
This option allows the unit control module (UCM) in the unit to exchange
information (i.e., operating setpoints and AUTO/STOP commands) with a
higher level control device, such as a Tracer. Twisted-pair conductors
establish the bi-directional communications link between the unit's control
module and Tracer.
1. Refer to the Tracer installation literature to determine proper communication link termination connections at the Tracer unit. Multiple UCM's on the
communication link can be connected in a “daisy chain” configuration.
2. Connect the shield of the communication link wiring to the designated
shield terminal at the Tracer 100.
3. Connect the shielded, twisted pair leads from the Tracer to the proper terminals on the UCM. There is no polarity requirement for this connection.
4. At the UCM, the shield should be cut off and taped to prevent any contact
between the shield and ground.
Note: On multiple unit installations, connect the shield between each “daisychained” UCM in the system to the shield of the twisted-pair leads going to
the next unit in line. Tape the spliced connection to prevent any contact
between the shield and ground. At the last UCM on the link, the shield
should be cut off and taped.
Ice Building Control Option
The CGM provides auxiliary control for a customer specified/installed
contact closure for ice making. When this field installed normally open
contact (5K86) is provided, the chiller will run normally. Upon contact
closure, the unit will operate fully loaded until the entering water temperature
falls below the pre-programmed ice building setpoint. High quality silver or
gold-plated contacts are recommended. The field supplied contacts must be
compatible with 24 VDC, 12 mA resistive load.
Connect the 5K86 relay contacts to the proper terminals on 1TB4 as
illustrated in Figure 20A. Refer to the latest version of CGAF-IOM-2 for more
complete details.
Compressor Inhibit / KW Limit
The unit is equipped with a 0-5V GBAS and a TCI module, the customer
provided/installed remote contact (5K89) initiates the demand limit function.
When the contact is “Open”, the chiller will operate normally. When the
contact closes, the unit will be limited to the programmed operating capacity
(25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%). When the contact opens, normal chiller
operation is restored.
High quality silver or gold-plated contacts are recommended. These
customer-supplied contacts must be compatible with 24 VDC, 12 mA
resistive load. Refer to the wire selection Table 6 for proper wire size and
Figure 20B for proper termination points.
Connect the wiring from the field supplied normally open contacts between
terminals 5 and 6 on 1TB16, if when 0 - 5 Volt BGAS is installed.

position.
[ ] Check all electrical connections for tightness and “point of termination”
accuracy.
[ ] Verify that the condenser airflow will be unobstructed.
[ ] Check the condenser fan blades. Ensure they rotate freely within the fan
orifices and are securely fastened to the fan motor shaft.
[ ] Verify that all compressor service valves, discharge service valves, and
liquid line service valves are back seated on each circuit.
CAUTION
Compressor Damage!
Compressor service valves must be fully opened before start-up
(suction, discharge, liquid line, and oil line). Failure to fully open valves
prior to start-up may cause compressor failure due to lack of refrigerant
and/or oil flow .
[ ] Inspect the interior of the unit for tools and debris.
[ ] Fill the chilled water system.
[ ] Vent the chilled water system at the highest points in the system. Vent the
air out of the chiller barrel by opening the vent, located on the top of the
chiller barrel. Close the vent when the chiller barrel is full of water.
[ ] Once the system has been filled, inspect the entire chilled water piping
system for leaks. Make any necessary repairs before proceeding.

Procedures
Note: To avoid possible equipment damage, do not use untreated or
improperly treated system water.
Voltage Imbalance
Excessive three phase voltage imbalance between phases will cause motors
to overheat and eventually fail. The maximum allowable voltage imbalance is
2%. Measure and record the voltage between phases 1, 2, and 3 and
calculate the amount of imbalance as follows:
% Voltage Imbalance = where;
AV (Average Voltage) =
V1, V2, V3 = Line Voltage Readings
VD = Line Voltage reading that deviates the farthest from the average
voltage.
Example: If the voltage readings of the supply power measured 221, 230,
and 227, the average volts would be:
VD (reading farthest from average) = 221
The percentage of Imbalance equals:
The 2.2% imbalance in this example exceeds the maximum allowable
imbalance of 2.0%. This much imbalance between phases can equal as
much as a 20% current imbalance with a resulting increase in motor winding
temperatures that will decrease motor life. If the voltage imbalance is over
2%, notify the proper agencies to correct the voltage problem before
operating this equipment.
Typically, current imbalance is associated with loss in motor efficiency,
higher operating motor temperature, loss of performance and reliability.
With the designs of specialized motors such as those used in the Trane
scroll compressor, operating temperature, efficiency, performance, and
reliability has been taken into account in the total performance of the
compressor.
Current imbalance in a scroll compressor can typically vary from 4 to 15
percent with balanced line voltage. This imbalance occurs because not all of
the winding turns see the same amount of stator iron. The variance of iron
within the motor is to accommodate design requirements for motor cooling
and oil return.
CSRA-SVX02A-EN51
Page 52
System Pre-Start
Procedures
At low operating voltage and high operating load, the imbalance may be
around 4 percent. At high operating voltage and low operating load, the
imbalance may be as high as 15 percent.
If an imbalance situation is suspected within the compressor (current draw
unequal between phases) and the line voltage imbalance does not exceed 2
percent;
1. Turn the field supplied disconnect switch, located upstream of the unit to
the “Off” position.
WARNING
Hazardous Voltage!
Disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before
servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the
power can not be inadvertently energized. Failure to disconnect power
before servicing could result in death or serious injury.
2. Disconnect the compressor leads at the compressor terminals.
3. Measure the resistance of the compressor windings at the compressor
terminals.
The actual resistance measured across each winding is not as important as
the amount of variation between the windings. The actual resistance
measured may vary due to the accuracy of the meter, rounding off of the
resistance readings, and the amount of resistance between the meter leads
and the compressor terminals.
Since the amount of copper in each winding is very consistent, the variance
between the windings should not exceed 7 percent.
Example: Typical 10 Ton, 460 volt, 60 Hz compressor has a winding
resistance of 1.44 to 1.09 Ohms.
Electrical Phasing
Unlike traditional reciprocating compressors, scroll compressors are phase
sensitive. Proper phasing of the electrical supply to the unit is critical for
proper operation and reliability.
The compressor motor is internally connected for clockwise rotation with the
incoming power supply phased as A, B, C.
Proper electrical supply phasing can be quickly determined and corrected
before starting the unit by observing the red phase monitor light on the chiller
control panel door and following the steps below
[ ] Turn the field supplied disconnect switch that provides power to the chiller
circuit breaker t the “OFF” position.
52CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 53
System Pre-Start
Procedures
[ ] Open switch (1S70), 24V Transformer SW and close switch (1S1), 115V
control circuit SW inside chiller control panel.
[ ] Close the disconnect switch or circuit protector switch that provides the
supply power to the unit's chiller circuit breaker.
[ ] Turn chiller circuit breaker handle on main control panel door to the “ON”
position.
[ ] Observe if “RED” light is illuminated on outside of chiller control panel. If
red light is not illuminated, push red light to test if illumination occurs. If
illumination occurs only when pushed, then phases are correct. If red light is
illuminated, open the field disconnect switch or circuit breaker protection
switch and reverse any two power wires.
High voltage is present at chiller circuit breaker 1CB1.

Sequence of Operation
Chiller Control for Comfort Applications
The CGM controls the leaving solution temperature (LST) to within an
adjustable setpoint using deadband control. The CGM monitors the LST
sensor and determines how far away the temperature is from the leaving
solution setpoint (LSS). The compressors are staged On/Off depending on
where the LST is within the control deadband.
Deadband Calculation
The rate at which capacity stages are added or subtracted is determined by
a control algorithm The CGM control deadband for comfort applications is a
calculated value based upon the control response setpoint, the difference
between LSS and LST, the number of capacity steps, the design delta
temperature (DDT) of the system, and the number of capacity steps. The
minimum comfort deadband is 1 degree F. The maximum comfort deadband
above or below the LSS is 10°F for a two stage unit and 5°F for a 4 stage
unit.
When the LST is inside the control deadband, the calculation is cleared and
no response is initiated. When the LST is outside the deadband and the
calculated control algorithm value equals 1, a capacity add command is
initiated. Conversely, when the value of the control algorithm equals -1, a
capacity subtract command is initiated. Once a capacity add or subtract
command is given and a change in the compressor staging has been
detected, the value of the control algorithm is reset to 0.
Chiller Freeze Protection
The CGM prevents evaporator fluid from freezing by utilizing two separate
algorithms. One is the evaporator limit control algorithm which stages
compressors “Off” if violated and the other is the evaporator freeze
protection algorithm which activates auto/manual diagnostics if violated. The
freeze protection function will always operate as long as the unit is in the
Auto mode for both normal cooling applications and/or ice building modes. A
manual reset diagnostic will occur if all compressors are shut off due to a
freeze protection violation.
The evaporator limit control integrator (ELCI) algorithm calculates a value
based upon the low leaving solution temperature cutout setpoint and the
leaving solution temperature. When the value for ELCI drops below -1, the
unit control will reduce the chiller capacity by staging down and/or inhibiting
a compressor from operation. After each capacity subtract command from
the capacity control algorithm is issued, ELCI is increased by 1 and retained.
The ELCI is set to 0 any time the leaving solution temperature is greater than
or equal to the low leaving solution temperature cutout (LLSC) + 3°F.
Compressors will be prevented from operating until the leaving solution
temperature (LST) is 4°F above the LLSC.
If Pumpdown is enabled and a subtract command is issued, the circuit will
be allow to pumpdown.
54CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 55
System Start-Up
Evaporator Freeze Protection Diagnostic
The evaporator freeze protection integrator (EFZ) will start integrating when
the leaving solution temperature is less than the low leaving solution
temperature cutout setpoint. Once EFZ integrates up to 30 Sec., the
following diagnostics will occur:
1. If all compressors are off, an auto diagnostic will occur. All of the compressors will be prevented from operating until the LST is 4°F greater
than the LLSC. Once the LST is 4°F above the LLSC, the unit will allow
normal unit operation.
2. If any compressors are “On”, a manual diagnostic will occur. All of the
compressors will be shutdown and locked out due to the violation of the
evaporator freeze protection.
Sequence of Operation
Chiller Control for Process Applications
Process applications are characterized as having fast changes in load and
these loads are not adequately controlled with the same scheme used for
comfort applications. To provide better control of these dynamic loads, a
Proportional + Integral “control to setpoint” (as opposed to “control to
deadband”) control strategy is used. System reliability is inversely
proportional to compressor cycle rates so reliability is the driving factor for
determining maximum cycle rate which ultimately translates into cycle-tocycle leaving solution temperature swings.
To provide stable capacity control, a 1 minute minimum time between
compressor starts is required. The control will determine an estimate of
instantaneous load based on error from setpoint for the leaving solution
temperature and cycle the appropriate compressor stage to best match the
calculated load.
The CGM calculates the Load Value by applying PI calculations to the
instantaneous error value. The Load Value consists of an integer part and a
fractional part. The integer part represents which compressor stages are
locked “On” and the fractional part represents the duty cycle required for the
next higher compressor stage. For a 4 compressor unit, the Load Value will
range from 0.0 to 4.0. For a 2 compressor unit, the Load Value will range
from 0.0 to 2.0.
CSRA-SVX02A-EN55
Page 56
System Start-Up
Duty Cycle Calculations calculate the duty cycle based on the calculated
Load Value Fraction:
On Time
Seconds = 3600 / 4 X Max Cycle Rate X (1-Load Value Fraction)
Off Time
Seconds = 3600 / 4 X Max Cycle Rate X Load Value Fraction
Where Load Value Fraction = Fractional part of the calculated Load Value.
Sequence of Operation
Leaving Solution Reset (LSR)
Leaving Solution Reset (LSR) refers to the process of adjusting the Leaving
Solution Setpoint (LSS) based on an external temperature.
When the optional Leaving Solution Reset (LSR) feature is used, the CGM
will automatically adjust the LSS in response to a temperature change from
one of three different temperature sensor:
1. Zone Temperature sensor
2. Outside Air Temperature sensor
3. Entering Solution Temperature sensor.
The reset temperature value (Start Temperature), to start resetting the
Leaving Solution Setpoint (LSS) and the maximum amount of reset to be
applied to the LSS is programmable through the Human Interface. The reset
amount applied to the LSS is a linear calculation between the Start
Temperature and the End Temperature. After the reset amount has been
calculated, it is added to the Leaving Solution Setpoint to create the Leaving
Solution Reset Setpoint. If the solution temperature is above the selected
Start Temperature, the reset amount is zero. If the solution temperature is
below the End Temp, the maximum amount of reset is applied. For reset
type 'None', the amount of reset is zero. Refer to the appropriate reset type
in Table 8 for reset schedules.

Sequence of Operation
Lead/Lag (Standard)
When Lead-Lag is enabled, for each capacity add request, the CGM will
begin sequencing the compressors “On” that have:
A. the least number of starts; or,
B. the least run time (if number of starts are equal)
At each capacity subtract request, the CGM will begin sequencing the
compressors “Off” that have:
A. the most run time; or,
B. the least number of starts (if more than one compressor has the same run
time)
If a compressor is locked out for any reason when a capacity add request
occurs, the next available compressor which meets the specified criteria will
be started.
If a compressor can not be turned “Off” due to the minimum “On Time”, the
next compressor which meets the specified criteria will be turned “Off”.
On dual circuit units, as the first two capacity add requests are initiated, one
compressor on each circuit will start before any additional compressors on
any circuit is started. When staging down from three compressor stages to
two compressor stages, the CGM will turn a compressor “Off” on the circuit
that has the most compressors operating.
58CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 59
System Start-Up
With Lead/Lag enabled, HGBP operation (if applicable) will be bypassed and
the system will go directly into pumpdown when the last subtract command
is initiated.
When the UCM is powered up (after a power loss), or any time the
compressor's start time and run time are equal, the number one (Lead)
designated compressor will be the first “On” and the number two (lag)
designated compressor will be the first “Off” on single circuit units (20 - 30
Tons).
For dual circuit units (40 through 60 Tons), the “On” sequence will be A-C-BD and the “Off” sequence will be D-B-C-A under the previously described
conditions. Refer to Figure 23 for compressor locations.
Sequence of Operation
Condenser Fan Control
The CGM condenser fan control logic is dependent on the number of
compressors operating per circuit and the saturated condensing
temperature. Fan logic is not initiated until the low ambient start time has
elapsed.
The condenser fan contactors, located in the unit control panel, initiate fan
operation when energized. Refer to Figure 22 for the condenser fan
locations and fan contactor designators. Dashed lines connecting pairs of
fans indicate instances where one contactor controls both fans.
Sequence of Operation
Low Ambient Dampers
Low Ambient Dampers are used to extend the operation of these units from
the standard operational temperatures to a minimum of 0°F without hot gas
bypass or 10°F with hot gas bypass. (These values apply when wind speed
across the condenser coil is less than 5 m.p.h.). If typical wind speeds are
higher than 5 m.p.h., a wind screen around the unit may be required. By
restricting the airflow across the condenser coils, saturated condensing
temperatures can be maintained as the ambient temperatures change.
The low ambient damper actuator controls damper modulation for each
refrigerant circuit in response to saturated condensing temperature.
Chilled Water Circulating Pump
Once the system has been filled, complete the following chilled water system
start-up procedures.
1. Turn the 115 volt control circuit switch 1S1 and the 24 volt control circuit
switch 1S70 located in the unit control panel to the “Off” position.
2. Turn the chiller circuit breaker (1CB1) and the pump circuit breaker on the
pump starter panel, to the “On” position.
3. Close the field supplied main power disconnect switch or circuit protector
switch that provides the supply power to the unit's circuit breaker (1CB1).
CSRA-SVX02A-EN59

designated in the previous step has elapsed.
8. Press the TEST START key to start the test. Remember that the delay
designated in Step 7 must elapse before the pump will begin to operate.
9. To balance the flow through the evaporator, adjust the flow rates between
the minimum and maximum values given in Table 9. Flow rates above or
below these values can cause equipment damage or improper unit operation.
10.Check the flow device (if applicable) on the evaporator outlet piping to
ensure it opens and closes properly.
11.Measure the evaporator water pressure drop at the system pressure
gauge(s). Compare the readings to the pressure drop values given in Figure 21.
Note: Evaporator pressure drop is an approximation and is to be used as a
tool to estimate flow rate and as an aid to waterside system piping design. If
an accurate measurement of flow is required, a flow meter must be installed
in the system.

1. Ensure that the main power disconnect switch and the control power circuit breaker for the “System Solution Pump” is “On”.
2. Before closing the main power disconnect switch for the unit, ensure that
the compressor discharge service valve and the liquid line service valve
for each circuit is back seated.
CAUTION
Compressor Damage!
Compressor service valves must be fully opened before start-up
(suction, discharge, liquid line, and oil line). Failure to fully open valves
prior to start-up may cause compressor failure due to lack of refrigerant
and/or oil flow .
3. Remove the protective plastic coverings that shipped over the compressors.
4. Check the compressor oil levels. The oil level in each manifolded set of
compressor sight glasses should be equally 1/2 to 3/4 full when they are
“Off”.
5. Check the condenser coils. They should be clean and the fins should be
straight. Straighten any bent coil fins with an appropriate sized fin comb.
6. Turn the main power disconnect switch or circuit protector switch that
provides the supply power to the unit’s terminal block 1TB1 or the unit
mounted disconnect switch 1S14 to the “On” position.
7. Turn the 24 volt control circuit switch 1S70 to the “On” position.

12.Turn the 115 volt control circuit switch 1S1 “On”.
13.Press the TEST START key to start the test. Remember that the delay
designated in step 11 must elapse before the system will begin to operate.
14.Once each compressor or compressor pair has started, verify that the
rotation is correct. If a scroll compressor is rotating backwards, it will not
pump and a loud rattling sound can be observed. Check the electrical
phasing at the load side of the compressor contactor.
If the phasing is correct, before condemning the compressor, interchange
any two leads to check the internal motor phasing. Refer to the illustration
in Figure 24 for the compressor terminal identification. If the compressor
runs backward for an extended period (15 to 30 minutes), the motor windings can over heat and cause the motor winding thermostats to open.
This will cause a “compressor trip” diagnostic and stop the compressor.
15.Verify that the oil level in each compressor is correct. The oil level may be
down to the bottom of the sightglass but should never be above the sightglass.
16.Press the STOP key at the Human Interface Module in the unit control
panel to stop the compressor operation.
17.Repeat steps 8 through 16 for each compressor stage and the appropriate condenser fans.

designated in the previous step has elapsed.
5. Press the TEST START key to start the test. Remember that the delay
designated in step 4 must elapse before the system will begin to operate.
6. After all of the compressors and condenser fans for the number 1 circuit
have been operating for approximately 30 minutes, observe the operating refrigerant pressures and measure the system superheat and subcooling.
The outdoor ambient temperature must be between 65°F and 105°F.
When the temperatures are outside of these ranges, refer to Table 10 for
the recommended refrigerant capacities.

Environmental scientists have found evidence that refrigerant emissions
contribute to depletion of ozone in the upper atmosphere and can increase
global warming. Trane encourages every effort to eliminate, if possible, or
vigorously reduce the emission of CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerant to the
atmosphere that can result from installation, operation, routine maintenance,
or major service on this equipment. Only technicians with EPA certification
should be allowed to handle CFC, HCFC or HFC refrigerants. Compliance or
certification to other local or state codes may also be required when handling
refrigerants. Always act in a responsible manner to conserve refrigerants.
Refer to general service bulletin MSCU-SB-1 (latest edition).
Subcooling
With the unit operating at “Full Circuit Capacity”, acceptable subcooling
ranges between 14°F to 22°F.
Measuring Subcooling
A. At the liquid line service valve, measure the liquid line pressure. Using a
Refrigerant 22 pressure / temperature chart, convert the pressure reading
into the corresponding saturated temperature.
B. Measure the actual liquid line temperature as close to the liquid line service
valve as possible. To ensure an accurate reading, clean the line thoroughly
where the temperature sensor will be attached. After securing the sensor
to the line, insulate the sensor and line to isolate it from the ambient air.
Note: Glass thermometers do not have sufficient contact area to give an
accurate reading.
C. Determine the system subcooling by subtracting the actual liquid line tem-
perature (measured in b) from the saturated liquid temperature (converted
in a).
Superheat
The reliability and performance of the refrigeration system is heavily
dependent upon proper expansion valve adjustment. Therefore, the
importance of maintaining the proper superheat cannot be over emphasized.
Accurate measurements of superheat will provide the following information.
A. How well the expansion valve is controlling the refrigerant flow.
B. The efficiency of the evaporator.
C. The amount of protection the compressor is receiving against flooding or
overheating.
The recommended range for superheat is 10 to 16 degrees at the
evaporator.
Systems operating with less than 10 degrees of superheat:
A. Could cause serious compressor damage due to refrigerant floodback.
B. Removes working surface from the evaporator normally used for heat
transfer.
CSRA-SVX02A-EN69
Page 70
System Start-Up
Systems operating with superheat in excess of 16 degrees:
A. Could cause excessive compressor cycling on internal winding thermostat
which leads to compressor motor failure.
B. Lowers the efficiency of the evaporator by reducing the heat transfer ca-
pability.
Measuring Superheat
A. Measure the suction pressure at the suction line gauge access port locat-
ed near the compressor.
B. Using a Refrigerant / Temperature chart, convert the pressure reading to
a corresponding saturated vapor temperature.
C. Measured the suction line temperature as close to the expansion valve
bulb, as possible.
D. Subtract the saturated vapor temperature obtained in Step B from the ac-
tual suction line temperature obtained in step c. The difference between the
two temperatures is known as “superheat”.
Note: When adjusting superheat, recheck the system subcooling before
shutting the system “Off”.
7. Once the checks and adjustments for the operating circuit has been completed, check and record the:
ambient temperature;
compressor oil level (each circuit);
compressor suction and discharge pressures (each circuit);
superheat and subcooling (each circuit);
Record this data on an “Operator's Maintenance Log” shown in Table 12.
8. Press the STOP key at the Human Interface Module in the unit control
panel to stop the system operation.
9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the number 2 refrigeration circuit.
10.After shutting the system off, check the compressor's oil's appearance.
Discoloration of the oil indicates that an abnormal condition has occurred.
If the oil is dark and smells burnt, it has overheated because of: compressor is operating at extremely high condensing temperatures; high superheat; a compressor mechanical failure; or, occurrence of a motor
burnout.
If the oil is black and contains metal flakes, a mechanical failure has
occurred. This symptom is often accompanied by a high compressor
amperage draw.
If a motor burnout is suspected, use an acid test kit to check the condition
of the oil. Test results will indicate an acid level exceeding 0.05 mg
KOH/g if a burnout occurred.

Figure 24 — Typical Compressor Terminal Block
Compressor Crankcase Heaters
Each compressor is equipped with a crankcase heater and is controlled by a
600 volt auxiliary switch on the compressor contactor. The proper operation
of the crankcase heater is important to maintain an elevated compressor oil
temperature during the “Off” cycle to reduce oil foaming during compressor
starts.
When the compressor starts, the sudden reduction in crankcase pressure
causes the liquid refrigerant to boil rapidly causing the oil to foam. This
condition could damage compressor bearings due to reduced lubrication
and could cause compressor mechanical failures.
When power has been “Off” for an extended period, allow the crankcase
heater to operate a minimum of 8 hours before starting the unit. Compressor
crankcase heaters can be energized by supplying 115V power to the shore
power plug (9J1) installed near the chiller control panel.
Low Ambient Damper Adjustment
(Factory or Field Installed)
A damper is factory installed over the lead condenser fan for each
refrigeration circuit. Refer to the appropriate unit illustrated in Figure 22 for
the damper locations.
The UCM has a factory default setpoint of 90°F. This setpoint can be
adjusted using the Human Interface programming procedures.
Inspect the damper blades for proper alignment and operation. Dampers
should be in the closed position during the “Off” cycle. If adjustment is
required;
1. At the Human Interface, program the actuator for 0% on circuit #1 and/or
circuit #2. (The output signal will go to 0.0 VDC.)
72CSRA-SVX02A-EN
Page 73
System Start-Up
2. Loosen the damper shaft “Locking” set screws on the actuator.
3. Firmly hold the damper blades in the closed position.
4. Tighten the “Locking” set screws.
To check damper operation, program the actuator for 100% on circuit #1
and/or circuit #2. (The output signal will go to 10 VDC and the damper will
drive to the full open position.

Compressor Operational Sounds
Because of the scroll compressor design, it emits a higher frequency tone
(sound) than a reciprocating compressor. It is designed to accommodate
liquids, both oil and refrigerant, without causing compressor damage. The
following discussion describes some of the operational sounds that
differentiate it from those typically associated with a reciprocating
compressor. These sounds do not affect the operation or reliability of the
compressor.
At Shutdown:
When a Scroll compressor shuts down, the gas within the scroll expands and
causes momentary reverse rotation until the discharge check valve closes.
This results in a “flutter” type sound.
At Low Ambient Start-Up:
When the compressor starts up under low ambient conditions, the initial flow
rate of the compressor is low due to the low condensing pressure. This
causes a low differential across the thermal expansion valve that limits its
capacity. Under these conditions, it is not unusual to hear the compressor
rattle until the suction pressure climbs and the flow rate increases.
Scroll Compressor Replacement
Table 13 lists the specific compressor electrical data and the circuit breaker
operating ranges.
The compressor manifold system was purposely designed to provide proper
oil return to each compressors. The refrigerant manifolded system must not
be modified in any way.
Note: Altering the manifold piping may cause oil return problems and
compressor failure.
Should a compressor replacement become necessary and a suction line
filter drier is to be installed, install it a minimum of 18 inches upstream of the
oil separator tee. Refer to the illustration in Figure 25.
Anytime a compressor is replaced, the oil for each compressor within the
manifolded set must be replaced.
The scroll compressor uses Trane OIL-42 without substitution. The
appropriate oil charge for a 9 and 10 Ton scroll compressor is 8.5 pints. For a
14 and 15 Ton scroll compressor, use 13.8 pints.

Coil Cleaning
Regular coil maintenance, including annual cleaning, enhances the unit's
operating efficiency by minimizing:
• compressor head pressure and amperage draw; evaporator water
carryover; fan brake horsepower, due to increase static pressure
losses; airflow reduction.
At least once each year, or more often if the unit is located in a “dirty”
environment, clean the evaporator and condenser coils using the
instructions outlined below. Be sure to follow these instructions as closely as
possible to avoid damaging the coils.
To clean refrigerant coils, use a soft brush and a sprayer (either a garden
pump-up type or a high-pressure sprayer). A high-quality detergent is also
required; suggested brands include “SPREX A.C.”, “OAKITE 161", “OAKITE
166" and “COILOX”. If the detergent selected is strongly alkaline (ph value
exceeds 8.5), add an inhibitor.
1. Remove enough panels from the unit to gain access to the coil.
14 x 71Smooth
78CSRA-SVX02A-EN

Service & Maintenance
2. Protect all electrical devices such as motors and controllers from any
over spray.
3. Straighten any bent coil fins with a fin comb.
4. Mix the detergent with water according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If desired, heat the solution to 150°F maximum to improve its cleansing
capability.
WARNING
Hazardous Pressures!
Coils contain refrigerant under pressure. When cleaning coils, maintain
coil cleaning solution temperature under 150 0 F to avoid excessive
pressure in the coil. Failure to follow these safety precautions could
result in coil bursting, w hich could result in death or serious injury.
5. Pour the cleaning solution into the sprayer. If a high-pressure sprayer is
used:
• do not allow sprayer pressure to exceed 600 psi.
• the minimum nozzle spray angle is 15 degrees.
• maintain a minimum clearance of 6" between the sprayer nozzle and
the coil.
• spray the solution perpendicular (at 90 degrees) to the coil face.
6. Spray the leaving-airflow side of the coil first; then spray the opposite side
of the coil. Allow the cleaning solution to stand on the coil for five minutes.
7. Rinse both sides of the coil with cool, clean water.
8. Inspect both sides of the coil; if it still appears to be dirty, repeat Steps 6
and 7.
9. Reinstall all of the components and panels removed in Step 1 and any
protective covers installed in Step 2.
10.Restore the unit to it's operational status and check system operation.
